Power manager on "battery critical" event

Bug Description

In "Power Management Preferences" dialog of Power Manager 2.20.0 I have chosen an event "shutdown" when battery power is critically low (see attachment).
Acctually this event never fires up. After I get battery notifications of low or critical batery time nothing happes.
After that in about 5 or 10 minutes (depends on what I am doing) the sistem and computer just collapse. Like on desktop computer when power goes of.
Why my sistem does not shutdown on power critical ?

I do not know where is the catch if there is any. Or this is just problem with my notebook.

I have HP Compay nx7010 notebook computer.

That is possible. Could you please attach a log of what GNOME Power
manager is doing when the power runs out?

Hello Ted,

I was trying to understand how to catch events while power goes out
with HAL, GPM or DBUS, but dot not how it works.
How can system writes some info about events that happens on power out event ???
Anyway I attached GPM debug log.....

Thanks

I can confirm this behavior as well (Dell e1505). I do not have a valid power mgr log to provide however.

I found this behavior as well in a Sony Vaio VGN-FS415M and Hardy Heron 32 bit (kernel 2.6.24-19-generic)

In my acer aspire with the latest updates (hardy heron 64 bit, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic, gnome-power-manager 2.22.1-1) something changed: in fact now I can see the battery notifications of low or critical battery even if my system still collapse as well without shutdown procedure (I set, in power-manager settings the event shutdown at low battery).
